What is an example of mechanical energy?
○ water flowing through turbines in a dam
○ nuclear reactor heating water with radioactive particles
○ chemicals reacting inside a battery
○ electricity flowing through a wire
9) Check all that apply.
Which TWO factors affect kinetic energy?
□ state of matter—solids have the least kinetic energy
□ shape—round objects have more kinetic energy than squarish or unevenly shaped objects
□ the mass of an object—the larger the object, the more kinetic energy it has
□ temperature—cooler objects have more kinetic energy

Answer

  1. Water flowing through turbines in a dam is an example of mechanical energy.

  2. The two factors that affect kinetic energy are:

    1. The mass of an object—the larger the object, the more kinetic energy it has.
    2. Temperature—cooler objects have more kinetic energy is incorrect; actually, warmer objects have more kinetic energy.
